Rhonda Bracey: At Random

I purchased an 30GB MP3/data storage device while I was in California (MUCH cheaper than Australian prices, even with exchange rate differences) and spent a blissful 3+ hours flying from LA to Chicago listening to the dulcet tones of Bill Bryson reading from his own books. I'm not really that into music, but the thought of talking books for such situations is pretty attractive. I don't have to have the light on in a darkened plane to read, yet get the benefit of the book anyway. Now I have to find out how I can stop chuckling in the funny parts without disturbing the person sitting next to me! That 15 hour flight back to Australia is not looking quite as daunting as before.
